Nib Fine Flexible Duofold 14k nib. The nib says "Parker Duofold 14k Pen N." See the writing sample below.
Condition Excellent + condition. This is an unusually patterned and colored pen, very shiny and attractive. Under magnification, we see microscratching and handwear, but the pen looks quite shiny in hand. The barrel has some marks caused by the cap lip. The imprint ("Geo. S. Parker/Parker Duofold/Reg. T.M.") is consistent with the English Duofolds, and is quite clear and readable. The barrel end piece is slightly dulled. The cap has light scratching. The cap band has some brassing and dots of plating wear. The clip has quite a lot of brassing and plating wear all over.
